MANSFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ (Warren County) – Independence Township First Aid Chief Vazquez, Training Center Coordinator Kostenbader, Lieutenant Lundy, EMT Flint, and EMT student Kowalick recently trained the administrators, teachers, and staff at the Mansfield Elementary School in basic bleeding control skills.
This training, which the Mansfield Township Office of Emergency Management coordinated, started with a quick lecture on the basics of bleeding control followed by a round of skill stations.
In the stations, students learned to stop life-threatening bleeding by using their hands to apply pressure to a wound, how to pack a wound to control bleeding, and how to correctly apply a tourniquet to save a life before someone bleeds out.
